Start Drawing – Part 5: Landscape

In this art tutorial on how to draw a landscape, I’ll teach you how, by using just three tones, dark, medium and light, you can create depth in your drawing . Starting with just three lines, light medium and dark tones, we can draw the framework for our landscape drawing. Drawing a landscape is much easier using this drawing technique. My stage by stage explanation shows clearly the different stages of the process of drawing a landscape. This tutorial will explain how to create depth in your drawing by using tone. Simply, each element of the landscape is a different tone, the front is dark, the background light. The same basic techniques can be applied to still life and any type of drawing requiring depth.

Our Philosophy

At Art Tutorials online, we believe being an artist is a twofold process. It’s a combination between skills, techniques, creativity and the ability to see things in a way others often can’t.

Many people become obsessed with learning techniques, but that only takes you so far. You also need the passion and the creativity to experiment and make mistakes. But remember no one in the world draws like you do, be proud of that. As an artist you seek an individual vision, who’s to say you haven’t got that. Hopefully, our art tutorials will help you seek out your individual vision.
